To The Emergency Room I Go...

Well I had my surgery on 7/24/12 and a few days after I felt great despite the gas. About the 6th day post-op I started feeling very fatigued, to the point I could barely get up. I mentioned to the doctor that I had dark tarry stool and they ran some test and said I was better then when I was there surgery day.

Well early this morning I began to throw up blood and my stool was bloody red. I called them and they said to get to the ER as fast as I can.

I am very very fatigued, cloudy headed and to be honest with you regretting this decision. I wanted to do this to better my life for my kids and myself. Now all I can think about is if they will be able to manage life without a father.

I hope this is something they can quickly diagnose and resolve and I am back to normal, my fear is they had a chance to diagnose originally but did not so they don't know what's going on.

Obviously this surgery isn't 100% and it shouldn't be perceived as so, I guess that's where I was wrong. All I could see was a healthier me that I stopped considering the possibilities of major issues. I don't want to live my life weak and wiltered like this. It's the complete opposite reason for me doing this.

  • Oh noooo, I hope everything goes OK for you. When you mentioned that your poop was tarry and black, my first thought was that you were still bleeding or bleeding from something. Please don't regret
